32 <refsect1><title>DESCRIPTION</title>
34 <command>yaz-marcdump</command> reads MARC records from one or
36 It parses each record and supports output in line-format,
37 ISO2709, MARCXML, MarcXchange as well as Hex output.
40 This utility parses records ISO2709(raw MARC) as well as XML
41 if that is structured as MARCXML/MarcXchange.
45 As of YAZ 2.1.18, OAI-MARC is no longer supported.
46 OAI-MARC is deprecated. Use MARCXML instead.
50 By default, each record is written to standard output in a line
51 format with newline for each field, $x for each subfield x.
52 The output format may be changed with options <literal>-X</literal>,
53 <literal>-e</literal>, <literal>-I</literal>.
56 <command>yaz-marcdump</command> can also be requested to perform
57 character set conversion of each record.
61 <refsect1><title>OPTIONS</title>
67 Reads MARC records in MARCXML/MarcXchange format. Without
68 this option, <command>yaz-marcdump</command> reads records
76 Writes MARC records in MARCXML.
77 This format is equivalent to YAZ_MARC_MARCXML in
78 <filename>yaz/marcdisp.h</filename>.
85 Writes MARC records in MarcXchange format.
86 This format is equivalent to YAZ_MARC_XCHANGE in
87 <filename>yaz/marcdisp.h</filename>.
94 Writes MARC records in ISO2709 format.
95 This format is equivalent to YAZ_MARC_ISO2709 in
96 <filename>yaz/marcdisp.h</filename>.
101 <term>-f<replaceable>from</replaceable>]</term>
103 Specify the character set <replaceable>from</replaceable>
104 of the input MARC record.
105 Should be used in conjunction with option <literal>-t</literal>.
110 <term>-t<replaceable>to</replaceable>]</term>
112 Specify the character set <replaceable>of</replaceable>
114 Should be used in conjunction with option <literal>-f</literal>.
121 Writes more information about the parsing process.
122 Useful if you have ill-formatted ISO2709 records as input.
129 <refsect1><title>EXAMPLES</title>
131 The following command converts MARC21/USMARC in MARC-8 encoding to
132 MARC21/USMARC in UTF-8 encoding. (Both input and output is in ISO2709).
134 yaz-marcdump -f MARC-8 -t UTF-8 -I marc21.raw >marc21.utf8.raw
138 The same records may be converted to MARCXML instead in UTF-8:
140 yaz-marcdump -f MARC-8 -t UTF-8 -X marc21.raw >marcxml.xml
